Six years post-legalisation in the UK, private medical cannabis prescriptions rose 118% between 2021 and 2023. Despite 35,000 prescriptions, awareness among healthcare professionals and the public is limited, and a major knowledge gap persists.@releaf_uk

Continued coverage of yesterday's campaign. Co-founder and Director @Matt_Hughes79 talks of the impact left on families supported by Medcan Family Foundation. Without NHS or private access, many are left to illicit sources without clinical supervision and unregulated oils.

The momentum is building. Tomorrow, @SalfordCouncil Members will have their say on how we protect the rights of the disabled and suffering.
Will they be treated with the dignity they deserve, or forced to hide like criminals?

💡This is an excellent piece of work from @Lindsey1Metcalf and Dr Helen Beckett Wilson of @LJMU on the challenges of accessing medical cannabis
The article rightfully highlights where barriers lay and health inequalities created with current prescribing
